Leah worked with me to find a cohesive design aesthetic out of my eclectic tastes. She is very easy to work with a low-pressure demeanor, gently steering in a direction to create beautiful spaces. Additionally, she worked a budget set a the beginning of the project. > I loved working with Leah on this project for +1-year (with all the covid delays) and I look forward to working with her on more projects at my home. **★★★★★ — Linda, Aug. 2022** > Leah has great taste and is knowledgeable about home interiors.

We are now working together on a family, dining, and living room update. **★★★★★ — nonnato4, Feb. 2020** > Leah was wonderful to work with. She helped choose paint and tile colors for our new home. She listened to my ideas and with her expertise the colors she chose were perfect! > > I would highly recommend her and plan on using her for other decorating needs. **★★★★★ — Melissa Fox, April 2019** > After spending way too many hours in showrooms and tile shops, my husband and I decided we needed to call in help for the major renovation of our master bathroom. A good friend had just hired Leah to add some pizazz to her kitchen remodel--and I completely loved the added touches. We decided to give her a shot. I showed Leah two or three pictures, discussed with her our style, and she came up with MAGIC. I can honestly say it is our dream bathroom with every single detail chosen with deep thought and care. We were so impressed with her design ability and the ease of working with her that we went all-in--adding on a total gut rehab of our kids bathroom, powder room, major refresh of our kitchen including painted cabinetry, all lighting, bar stools etc. and more. We had been wanting to update our home for a few years, but felt stuck and overwhelmed. Leah changed all of that. She has such an amazing eye for design and also for knowing our personal style. When a project is complete, we step back in awe. We aren't done yet because we keep adding more ideas while we are on a roll. Leah has been spearheading the design ideas, project management and more every step of the way. Job well done Leah--you are awesome!!!! **★★★★★ — Gali Lavee, April 2019** > Leah was a huge help to us with our remodeling project! It was our first remodel ever and we completely gutted two full bathrooms in our house. This would have been SO much more stressful without Leah's help. She is quick, decisive, and also listened really well to what we wanted. She made the decision process easy and enjoyable. It's so easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of options available on the market but Leah was able to quickly narrow down the things that would work for us based on our personal style, the style of the house, functionality, and price. Plus she has an eye for detail and amazing taste! I can honestly say that choosing all the tile/fixtures/color schemes with Leah was FUN, and now we have two gorgeous bathrooms that I am proud to show off :) **★★★★★ — Whitney, April 2019** > We really enjoyed working with Leah in space planning for our main level. She was able to create plans to maximize space, stay kid friendly and still be a beautiful space. She was also able to come up with a style that fit both my husbands preferences and my own. We would definitely use Leah again for any future home projects. **★★★★★ — HU-56428272, Nov. 2018** > Leah did a great job of executing our remodel. My wife and I had previous experience with remodels, but this one was more challenging than previous. Leah was very intricate to drawing of plans, problem solving, and introducing us to vendors and contractors. Overall, would gladly recommend here to anyone looking for home design services. **★★★★★ — Beth Hunsicker Parker, May 2018** > I worked with Leah to decorate key rooms in my new home. She was fantastic. She helped blend our old pieces with new pieces to make our new build feel warm, inviting and modern. She was a pleasure to work with and was open to feedback. I really felt like a partnership. I would highly recommend her for any size project! ## Selected projects - [Ladue Modern Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ladue-modern-kitchen-pj-vj~2728549) - Location: Ladue, MO - Photos: 2 - Description: This mid century modern home was in desperate need of a new kitchen. We not only updated the space with all new cabinetry, fixtures and appliances but the orientation of the whole space was changed. We took down the wall located between the kitchen and dinging room creating a long galley style kitchen and the dining room was moved to the under used sun-room creating a unique space where dinner guests get a view of the beautiful property and near by lake. The warm wood tones, careful selection of… - [University City](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/university-city-pj-vj~2728305) - Location: St. Louis, MO - Photos: 1 - Description: These homeowners needed a new updated kitchen that was larger and could accommodate their growing family. We united the kitchen and dining room by taking down the wall between the two rooms. A classic white kitchen was desired by the homeowners and we able to design a space that is both functional and beautiful. - [De Peres Master Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/de-peres-master-bathroom-pj-vj~2728562) - Location: Ballwin, MO - Photos: 3 - Description: This master bathroom was redesigned from top to bottom. The walk-in closet in the existing bathroom took up a lot of space in the bathroom leaving the space disjointed. We relocated the closet to back of the bathroom using some of the space from a rarely used large sitting room at the front of the house. The new bathroom is open and airy creating a space that is calming and much more functional. - [Clayton Modern Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/clayton-modern-kitchen-pj-vj~7708031) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Condo Bathroom Reno](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/condo-bathroom-reno-pj-vj~7344057) - Location: University City, MO - Photos: 3 - [Wildwood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wildwood-pj-vj~6993176) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Kirkwood Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kirkwood-residence-pj-vj~5798672) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Accessory](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/accessory-pj-vj~5607059) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Clayshire Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/clayshire-project-pj-vj~2940911) - Location: Chesterfield, MO - Photos: 4 - [Denwood Master Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/denwood-master-bedroom-pj-vj~5500611) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [U City Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/u-city-kitchen-pj-vj~3018404) - Location: University City, MO - Photos: 5 - [Creve Coeur](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/creve-coeur-pj-vj~2891389) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 [See all 12 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/lj-interior-designs-pfvwus-pf~58945790) ## Ideabooks - [Larsen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/110718320/list/larsen) — 3 ideas - [Robyn](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/94909347/list/robyn) — 1 idea - [thurman](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/12741162/list/thurman) — 16 ideas [See all 3 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/leahjarrell) ## Community Q&A **Q: Classic Gray best Trim colour** *(in Design Dilemma)* What is a good white trim colour to be used with Classic Gray walls...looking at Cloud White or Simply White as possible colours A: I am a HUGE fan of Simply White.
